New in PJ Media:
As George Orwell might say, Rashida Tlaib is double-plus untouchable: she is not only a woman but a Muslim Arab. That means that anyone who dares to cross the line prohibiting criticism of anyone who is in one or more of the left’s protected victim groups gets an automatic reaction. That’s right: charges of racism, sexism, and “Islamophobia,” plus demands for his firing and public humiliation. The leftist attack dogs, however, went easy this week on political cartoonist Henry Payne: all he got were the racism and “Islamophobia” charges.
As of this writing on Tuesday afternoon, Payne is still listed as the Detroit News’ “auto columnist,” and described as “the Detroit News auto critic, a syndicated editorial cartoonist, and radio host.” He produced the cartoon making fun of Tlaib, however, not for the Detroit News, but for National Review, as the News’ editorial page editor, Nolan Finley, was anxious to remind the world. Right after noon on Friday, Finley wrote, “This cartoon did not run on a Detroit News platform. It was in the National Review. It was distributed by a syndicate that we aren’t associated with.”
That was apparently insufficient groveling, so Finley weighed in again just under two hours later, writing, “The editorial cartoon depicting Rep. Rashida Tlaib was distributed by @AndrewsMcMeelSyndicate. The @DetroitNews was not involved in its production or distribution and chose not to run it. The cartoonist works for The News in a different role, as an auto critic.”
What had Finley so nervous was actually rather innocuous as political cartoons go. Payne’s drawing depicts Tlaib sitting at her desk looking over at the smoking ruin of her pager and thinking: “Odd. My pager just exploded.”
Abraham Aiyash, a Democrat (what did you think?) who is currently the majority leader of the Michigan House of Representatives, was enraged and apparently unaware that Payne had not produced the cartoon for the Detroit News. Aiyash wrote, “Shame on the @detroitnews for allowing this racist, xenophobic vile cartoon on their platform. Pay attention to who condemns this. And then recognize the different standard Arab and Muslim politicians are held by.”
Others, recognizing where the cartoon had actually run, demanded the usual groveling apologies. Failed Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-Fire Alarm) wrote, “Anti-Arab bigotry & Islamophobia must not be allowed to be normalized. Henry Payne and the National Review should apologize immediately to @RashidaTlaib for this offensive comic.” Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud also posted the cartoon on X and commented, “Absolutely disgusting. Anti-Arab bigotry & Islamophobia have become normalized in our media. The National Review ran this dangerous cartoon of @RashidaTlaib. This garbage was created by Henry Payne with the @detroitnews. At what point will people call this out?”
There is more. Read the rest here.

From the liver to the knee, terrorists can no longer pee.
Emilie Green says
“Fruit of the Kaboom” clothing items will no longer be sold in Arab street markets.
Luchtpint says
Arab muslims (considering themselves as the new Herrenvolk) are purportedly continually “victimized”. And as long as the moonbat politicians and the MSM keep up this pretence, the world can dismiss Arab muslims persecuting Jews, black Africans (including Afro-Americans) and all manner of religious minorities all over the place.
This feigned indignation by muslims is sickening and totally inexcusable.

The ugly mozlum managed to get a bunch of Jews in Congress to write a letter saying how terrible this was.
And r tlaib openly criticized the AG of MI for prosecuting some pro-terror students who broke the law, calling her ‘biased.’
tlaib supports terrorism,terrorists, and terror groups; and has lied repeatedly about Israel; calling the war to protect the Israeli citizens from the murderers of hamas and hezbollah and the houthis and terror groups from iraq, syria and iran ..”a genocide.”
Others who draw political cartoons should make her the subject of so many, she only has time to open her mouth before the next one is published, but no time to whine, lie and complain.

Her physical appearance has nothing whatsoever to do with the issue at hand.
Your ‘ugly mozlum’ label reflects your childish thinking.
And you still owe me an apology for posting that I wanted to rape children.

Can you tell us something? Are you on the spectrum, or suffer from PTSD? B’cos you know that that’s her view, but instead of leaving it alone, you are obsessed w/ her! I’ve noticed that she makes it a point to ignore you, but you are obsessed w/ what she writes!
Not everybody on this platform agrees w/ you on any number of things, except islam/jihad. Somehow, that seems to go way above your head. If you happen to be mentally normal, what you are doing to her is nothing short of cyberbullying

r tlaib is an UGLY muzlim

Now, she is trying to get blinken fired. or, according to this source *link at the bottom*, have him resign. I’m wondering if this mozlum loudmouth can cook. The link right below is why I ask that.

“Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) called on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to resign over allegations that he overrode the findings of experts from within the department to keep U.S. arms shipments to Israel continuing.
The U.S. Agency for International Development and the department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration delivered their assessment that Israel had been deliberately blocking the delivery of food and medicine into Gaza in April, ProPublica reported earlier this week. The assessment, if it came to light and Blinken agreed with it, would require the United States to stop weapons shipments to Israel because U.S. law requires it to cut off military aid to countries that block the delivery of U.S.-backed humanitarian aid.
Days later, the secretary told Congress, “We do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance.”
Blinken “lied,” Tlaib wrote on X on Thursday morning. “People went hungry, and some died. He needs to resign now.”
Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has shared support for such a strategy.”

“FrontPageDetectives.com has learned that Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer recently called out Rep. Rashida Tlaib for her claim that Attorney General Dana Nessel’s decisions regarding certain charges were swayed by her religious beliefs. “The suggestion that Attorney General Nessel would make charging decisions based on her religion as opposed to the rule of law is antisemitic,” Whitmer wrote.”
